Recipe Introduction


have posted the gnocchi recipe recently as vegetarian protein source. When my son (non-vegetarian but budding gourmet cook) visited I served the gnocchi as a side dish. He liked them and recommended serving them over pasta for one of his brother's vegetarian meals. Good thought. On my part, even though they were only partly flour, I still think of them as pasta so tried something last night that was wonderful. I used my shredder's largest holes to create summer squash by using long strokes. I figure one small squash per serving. I cooked the "pasta" for 2 min. in microwave and served as a wonderful bed of "pasta"
